Four sets of resource bundles contain the strings that are displayed in an IDD application.
Each set includes the following components:
The default file.
A placeholder English language file. This file can be empty.
Localized versions of the file, if needed.
For example, for the MessageBundle set, there is the default file MessageBundle.properties, and the placeholder English language file MessageBundle_en.properties.
Each resource bundle file is a UTF-8 encoded properties file. Each entry in the file is a name/value pair,
<name>=<value>
. Examples:
title=Business Data Director
locale=Locale
search=Search
For each entry:
<name> is a fixed value that is referenced by the IDD application and cannot be changed
<value> is the part that can be localized
To localize the application:
Use the IDD Configuration Manager to add resource bundle files to an IDD application, either by including them in the application ZIP file that is imported, or by importing them individually into an existing IDD application.
